Hello, Can someone give me some help on repairing an anti-reverse on a Heddon 283? I'm new so not sure if I'm even doing this right. Thanks Bee
Welcome
Here is a Tutorial by Mo65 on that very reel

If you get Stumped come on back .
Welcome aboard!
Typically, on older spinning reels like these —
The grease becomes hardened — stopping the spring from interacting with the anti-reverse dog.
And/or — the A/R spring is bad.
Number 3 would be a worn out dog (less likely).
So, use MO's tutorial that Henry posted — then a thorough cleaning, inspection, and grease & oil lubrication.
Best, Fred
